    Obsessed with this controller! I didn't like the grainy feel of the controller that came with the Xbox Series X, so my friend recommended this. I was hesitant because of the price but Best Buy had a good price on Open Box and I had to go for it. No regrets. This thing feels premium and works great. I'm never going back to the basic Xbox controller.

    I've had the elite series 1 controller since it came out, and I thought it was the best and it couldn't get any better, so I was skeptical about picking up the elite 2, but I was not disappointed!! Its a complete revamp and it feels even better in the hands, and with all the adjustable features, I'm sure you'll find a comfortable setting, I give this a 20 star rating out of ten stars

    I had the first Elite Series controller and it ate the batteries. This controller, with the built in battery, lasts a long time. Very happy with it.

    So I bought this controller on the word of my teenager….He knows his stuff!! The controller isn’t even the best part! The extra paddles and extended charging cord definitely make this a worthwhile investment. Customization for what you prefer is what makes this a worthwhile purchase :)

    For the FPS player ( war zone / cod ) Sticks have good accuracy smooth and tons of adjustments. Only issue is the biggest of them all !! Stick drift - elite series 2 , Microsoft charges 200+ and hasn’t resolved the issue, 2cd controller in 2 yrs - get the geek protective insurance

    Upgraded from a regular xbox comtroller to this and it is amazing! Has weight to it for a solid feel and all the buttons push nicely. The joysticks feel real good with no travel.

    Great so far! Had a modded controller before this one and the buttons started sticking. I’m not a fan of the big paddles on the rear of the controllers so this worked out great. I love the feel of the rubber on the controller.

    Its amazing to the touch and far more reliable than the standard controller. You can just tell the difference in quality between the standard controller and the elite controller.
